Psalms 106:36–40 · Berean Standard Bible

36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.

38 They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.

39 They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.

40 So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.
